Agreed - it's really important to have it on by default - but the meta
button can be used to toggle it.

We really shouldn't have these buttons at the bottom - I like where they
are on http://people.nl.linux.org/~jorn/Files/a.png

I agree - IMHO http://people.nl.linux.org/~jorn/Files/a.png is much more
gnomeish, it shows some origionality and is a lot tidier than the latest
iTunes-alike mockups

Just want to take a break give everyone a big irish *Thumbs UP* for
being so close to a good UI. A pint of guiness for the person to come up
with the final mockup ;)
